Brunch at Flinders Lane in Stamford CT

In the fall of 2017,  restaurateurs Chris Rendell and Chris McPherson introduced Flinders Lane to the city of Stamford! Flinders Lane is an Aussie themed restaurant and gathering place that pays homage to the multi-cultural Flinders Lane eclectic food scene found in the owners’ Melbourne Australia homeland.  

Menu- Spring 2018
Note: Prices and offering are subject to change

Located on Stamford’s flourishing “Restaurant Row” on Summer Street, Flinders Lane takes up ground floor residence in the newly erected Summer House Luxury Apartments. The restaurant is certainly making its mark on the city with its boldly flavored and ingredient-driven land and sea menu, innovative beverage program, and whimsical and fun décor.  

This is a place to enjoy great food - and have a lot of FUN!

Taking its cues from the original Flinders Lane, which Chef Rendell and McPherson opened in New York’s East Village in 2014, the menu incorporates more than just Aussie fare, and embraces today’s international food culture. Whether incorporating Southeast Asian influences or French-inspired techniques, the dishes feature a fresh, honest approach when highlighting the ingredients.

The kitchen is under the direction of Chef Brad Stewart, who hails from New South Wales, Australia’s beautiful wine country. Brad’s culinary journey is deeply rooted in high-end hotels and resorts throughout New York, DC, Australia, and Thailand. 

And quite frankly, I could listen to Chef Brad speak with that great Aussie accent, 

ALL.   DAY.   LONG.

The 80-seat restaurant includes a convivial bar and adjacent high-top and banquette seating. The beverage program stays true to the menu’s international slant and fresh attitude, which includes a wide array of uniquely named cocktails, like the Lillet Rose, the Melbourne CBD, and the Limoncello Collins.

The also have a great draft beer selection!

Here are some of the BRUNCH items we sampled this spring 2018. 

We started with some traditional breakfast items. 

Berry Wheat Cakes

Poached Egg and Greens
on Avocado Toast

Mushroom Toast

 And then we moved on to the appetizer, entree, and sandwich items.

Oysters

Meat Pie of the Day

The Summer Salad Sandwich

The 'Roo Burger

We ended our visit with some amazing desserts. Many are from Chef Brad's family's favorite 'secret recipes'! Uh, hello! Can I be related to the Stewart family so I can have these recipes????

"Mum's" Carrot Cake

Grandma Stewart's
Sticky Bread Pudding

Pavlova

And I couldn't resist a little Aussie Espresso to end the most amazing brunch!  

Be sure you visit Connecticut's own "land down under" at Flinders Lane soon! You'll be glad you did!

COTTO Wine Bar remains dedicated to providing customers with a meaningful dining experience, and added even more talent to this intimate restaurant and wine bar, with accredited sommelier, Ian Toogood, our host for the day. who came to COTTO via Marc Restaurant Group’s A Voce in Manhattan and Le Fat Poodle in Greenwich, CT, revamping COTTO’s wine list and further elevating its service.

COTTO is reminiscent of a charming little café in a sleepy Italian village. Designed as a tapas style wine bar with communal dining tables, the focal point of the urban eatery is the exposed brick wall adorned with vintage photos and magazine covers of Silvy’s absolutely beautiful mother, Simonetta Simeoni, a prominent Italian actress and model throughout the 1960s-70s.

Viceroy Publik House comes to Downtown Stamford CT

A new restaurant fusing the best of British and Indian heritage and tradition is coming to Stamford CT. That's right, The Vicery Publik House, soon to be THE cultural connection in downtown Stamford is set to open in April 2017!

Taking a page from history, from what is now referred to as the “British Raj”, the British rule over the Indian subcontinent between 1858 and 1947, Viceroy Publik House pays homage to this now proud British and Indian cultural connect, offering a high energy English pub setting featuring London curry, pakoras and pints, and an edgy live music venue which is just as diverse as its menu. Located in Downtown Stamford, CT, Viceroy Publik House brings together these two cultures, rich in history and with a strong food and drink identity found in pubs throughout London.


A Publik House, “Pub” for short, was artfully designed by the British, dating as far back as the 1300s. Its focus was that of a gathering place where beer and cider were merely offerings within the pub’s social or political confines.  Over the years the concept grew and other cultures (Irish, Canadian, Australian, etc) brought their own food, drink, and entertainment to these neighborhood haunts, often a product of a town or family’s legacy.  Viceroy Publik House embraces its British namesake as the public face of the British presence in India, which ultimately carried with it strong Indian influences found throughout the British culture, namely its artistic and culinary presence.

 Located in a bi-level townhouse at 211 Summer Street, music promoter and innovative Stamford restaurateur Eric Monte has created an elevated pub experience lifted from the streets of London. Shepherd’s pie, fish & chips, Faroe Island salmon, and bangers ‘n mash share space with spicy vindaloo, madras, and samosas, favored pub fare to be accompanied by a pint.

 “The wheel has already been invented, “explains Monte, “Our goal was to simply create a style of restaurant and bar that spoke to the core values of a traditional English pub – historic influences and all.”

Owned by entrepreneur Ramya Lakshman, Viceroy Publik House enriches the dining scene along downtown Stamford’s “Little Summer Street”. Its entranceway is marked by the car hood of a vintage Triumph Bonnet, and suspended within the first floor’s picture window is a ‘68 Triumph Bonneville motorcycle, a product of the UK ethos. The street level dining room and bar is framed in carved mahogany wood and regal chandeliers, offering guests a menu filled with classic English pub fare, Indian curries, and libations presented in an intimate setting.

 The Tiger Room, Viceroy’s second story alter ego and music lounge is home to Monte’s signature musicians’ den. Featured on The Tiger Room’s Heineken Stage is an on-going spirited jam session among underground musicians, pop culture artists, and rock ‘n roll royalty with national acclaim. Monte, a consummate host with either a menu or a microphone in hand, has assembled a house band which will be the backbone to a robust schedule of music genres, as well as the area’s first live music karaoke night.



Set to Open April 2017

Community Plates 2016 Food for All Showcase

to Showcase 

Fairfield County’s Newest Restaurants and Craft Cocktail Bars

Wednesday, May 4, 2016,

Community Plates, the technology-fueled, direct-transfer food rescue organization dedicated to ending food insecurity in America, is thrilled to present their signature fundraising event, “Food for All”. 

The event highlights Community Plates’ goals for the coming year, celebrates its accomplishments, and pays gratitude to the many volunteers and supporters who share in the desire to put an end to food insecurity in our community.

Food for All, in keeping with Community Plates’ forward thinking and innovative practices, features Fairfield County’s newest restaurants and artisans who have just recently entered onto the local dining scene.

Also included within this unique format are Food for All’s signature craft cocktail bars, which this year will be presented by the mix masters of The Restaurants @ Harbor Point Stamford; Paloma, Sign of the Whale, and Fortina.

 “Since launching in 2011 Community Plates Fairfield County has already picked up and delivered over 8 million meals at a value of over $13 million to local food insecure people. This means over 12 million pounds of food has been kept out of landfill and gone to where it’s needed most. Powered by our proprietary  technology and our innovative hunger relief model,  every bit of this food has been rescued by over 320 volunteer food runners from our area., “ says Kevin Mullins, Executive Director and co-founder of Community Plates, “This event is a double whammy of fun and impact. Last year we were able to rescue and deliver over 1.5 million meals with the funds we raised at the event and we are hoping to make an even larger dent in Fairfield County hunger this year.”

 Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about Community Plates and their software application, the organization’s award-winning web and smartphone enabled interactive food rescue scheduling tool. The technology connects food-service organizations that gather and donate food that would otherwise be wasted; to food runners, who give of their time to pick-up and deliver food donations; to the receiving agencies that ensure donated food gets to those in need throughout the community.

NOIR Stamford - Globally Inspired Cuisine on Summer Street

Globally Inspired Cuisine - Casual & Intimate Setting - NOIR Stamford

Here's a new word for me!  “Bistronomie”

And it's being introduced to Fairfield county by way of NOIR Stamford!

Inspired by the Europeans, and now making its way stateside, Bistronomie is a progressive form of dining derived from the mashing together of ‘bistro’ and ‘gastronomy’.  Call it five-star cuisine sans the white tablecloths and pretense of a stereotypical high end restaurant. It’s a new day, and chefs, as well as consumers, know what they want to eat and how best to enjoy their dining experience.

NOIR Stamford, spearheaded by veteran art dealer Carrin Schechter, introduced this innovative dining style to Stamford this past November, adding to the city’s robust culinary landscape.

The menu takes its cues from across the globe, with an undeniable and delicious nod to French cuisine. Chef Francisco Ciciliano, formerly of Baldanza Natural Market & Café and Bistro Bonne Nuit in New Canaan, infuses vibrancy and warmth, taking familiar dishes and making them new again.

Seasonal menu highlights include;

• Escargot prepared with garlic, parsley butter and toasted bread crumbs; 
• Tuna Tartare with caper lime dressing; 
• Slow Braised Short Rib served with house made sauerkraut, kale, lemon confit, and herb relish; 
• Real French Onion Soup Gratinee with crostini and melted Gruyere; 
• Avocado Salad with charred baby kale, mache, Manchego cheese, and orange vinaigrette; 
• Crispy Duck Breast with sweet potato puree and Grand Marnier sauce; 
• Stonington Sea Scallops with chive mashed potato and haricot verts; 
• Braised Lamb Shank with crispy onions, pickled vegetables and duchesse potato; 
• Steak Frites Au Poivre served with hand cut French fries and béarnaise Brussels sprouts; \
• Pappardelle with pesto cream sauce, garlic shrimp, and marinated tomatoes. 

Enhancing the culinary experience is a relaxed, while attentive service style and NOIR’s charming dining room setting. Framed in exposed brick walls, bistro chalkboard menus, eclectic FOSartwork, black chandeliers with dangling crystals, large mirrors and hip music, this stylish eatery can seat up to 40 people.

The beverage offerings feature top shelf cocktails such as:

• The Belvedere martini with blue cheese stuffed olives, 
• The NOIR, shaken with Knob Creek and absinth bitters.
• The Jazzy Latina made with jalapeño infused tequila, strawberry puree, lime and Cointreau.  

• A stellar wine list complements the cross cultural menu. 

Located at 225 Summer Street, a.k.a. “Little Summer Street”, among a melting pot of restaurants and gathering places, NOIR is open for dinner Tuesday thru Saturday and will be offering a Sunday Artist Brunch showcasing the talents of regional artists over spicy bloody Marys and Chef’s Sunday Hash starting in 2016.

Chef Alex Rosado joins Paloma Restaurant in Stamford CT

Chef Alex Rosado Brings 

His Bold and Beautiful Latin Flavors to

Harbor Point’s Paloma Restaurant 

When describing the flavors in his dishes, Chef Alex Rosado uses words like “love” and “goodness”. He kisses his fingers as if to exclaim “Bellissimo!” Paloma is thrilled to add such passion to the dynamic team that head up Stamford’s popular tequila infused, bold and flavorful, wood-fired, indoor-outdoor, bi-level and multi-sensory restaurant, bar and event venue overlooking Stamford Harbor and an  industrial city at work.

Chef Rosado hails from Puerto Rico and brings with him an impressive culinary lineage. Alex graduated from Atlanta’s School of Culinary Arts in 1996. He began honing his skills, cooking in some of the city’s most highly-regarded restaurants, including Bill Swearingen and Philippe Haddad's The Abbey and Philippe’s Bistro. This up and coming chef would then go on to cook at such prestigious hotels as the Ritz Carlton in San Juan, Puerto Rico as the Chef de Cuisine for The Caribbean Grill, and then on to The Biltmore Hotel in Miami, Florida where he was fortunate enough to have worked closely under Executive Chef de Cuisine Philippe Ruiz. It was ultimately his position as the Executive Chef of Little Palm Island  in Little Torch Key, Florida from 2009-2012 that would thrust this young chef’s career into high gear, and where he amassed numerous accolades and awards, including a “Best Chefs of America” honor bestowed to him by his fellow chefs.

In 2013 Chef Rosado traveled up the coast to Westport, CT, where he managed the opening of one of Fairfield County’s most ambitious building renovations; Westport’s historical post office building, built circa 1935, and transformed the space into a striking New American restaurant and gathering place, Post 154. Paloma is excited to have Chef Alex Rosado at the helm of its kitchen where this talented and fearless chef can share his passion for Latin cuisine.


Guests can look forward to a new menu (January 2016) that will embrace the flavors and culinary traditions of Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Spain, and even Venezuela. In addition to Paloma’s signature botanas, perfect for sharing with the entire table, menu highlights will include slow braised and fire grilled meats and market fresh fish. A sneak peek into Chef Rosado’s new menu includes:

• King Crab Ceviche with aji amarillo, red onion, cilantro, and evoo; 
• Shrimp & Corn Taquitos with roasted tomato salsa, avocado relish, and cotija cheese; 
• Steak & Cheese Empanadas punctuated with smoked aioli; 
• Chipotle BBQ Ribs served with black beans and mango pico de gallo; 
• Mahi Mahi "a la plancha" with smoked passion fruit butter, baked "boulangere" style malanga, and serrano chiles; 
• Braised Lamb Shank Mole with root vegetable puree and warm Brussels sprout salad; 
• Wood Grilled Chateaubriand for two prepared with aji panca rub, butternut squash creamed potatoes, and Paloma steak sauce; 
• Lobster Mofongo of whole Maine lobster, New England bacon, and "criollo" lobster broth. 

Private events at Paloma continue to shine, now with added menu options such as a variety of whole roasted meats, including suckling pig, lamb, and steamship round of beef.

Sharing the stage and complementing Chef Rosado’s lively flavor profiles is an equally inspired beverage platform led by Olie Berlic, an award-winning sommelier, cocktail aficionado and bartender, who has been a professional in the fine wine and spirits industry for over 25 years. He is the creator of Beleza Pura Cachaça and Caipirinha, and the first importer in the U.S. to create a portfolio of handcrafted cachaças. Cocktails we’re all abuzz about include; The Paloma –camarena reposado tequila, grapefruit crème brulée nectar, grapefruit, lime, sea salt, and carbonated purified water; Bees & Honey – el buho mezcal, maker's mark bourbon, raw honey, lemon, and ginger-turmeric nectar; Red Sangria – malbec, cab, apples, oranges, rosewater, and house concoctions; and a happy hour favorite, the Paloma Cosmo - lemon vodka, orange jasmine vodka, lime, cranberry, and agave nectar.

2016 is going to be a fabulous year for Paloma. Join them for lunch, dinner, happy hour, Sunday brunch, late night music and cocktails, and be sure to check out their Private Event offerings, featuring stunning rooms with a waterfront view to intimate dinners by the fireplace – Chef Rosado and the Paloma team will craft your perfect event.
